Club career

Sporting CP

[edit | edit source]

Born in Camacan, Bahia, Neto started his career with Academia Catarinense de Futebol, a small club based in Santa Catarina where he was spotted by Sporting CP at the age of 16,[3][4] going on to be part of the latter's junior teams that won three national championships in a row.[5]

Neto made his debut for the Lions' main squad on 24 May 2009, featuring four minutes in a 3–1 home win over C.D. Nacional after replacing his compatriot Derlei.[6] His second Primeira Liga appearance came one year later, against Leixões SC (one minute played).[7]

After graduating from Sporting's academy, Neto was loaned to Cercle Brugge K.S.V. in Belgium alongside teammate Nuno Reis.[8] In his only full season in the Pro League, he scored four goals in 36 matches (32 starts) as the side finished in ninth position.[9]

In late December 2011, as Sporting were facing an injury crisis in midfield, Neto was recalled by the club's manager Domingos Paciência.[10][11] He scored his only league goal on 22 April 2012, in the 3–2 victory at C.D. Nacional where he was replaced at half-time by Stijn Schaars.[12]

Neto was loaned again in summer 2012, now to Hungary's Videoton FC.[13] He left for K.A.A. Gent in the following transfer window, also on loan.[14][15]

Gent acquired Neto on a permanent basis for the 2014–15 campaign.[16] On 21 May 2015, through a penalty kick, he was one of two players on target as his team defeated Standard Liège 2–0 at home to be crowned champions for the first time in their history.[17]

Neto nearly completed a transfer to newly-promoted Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion in 2017, but failed a medical.[18] He missed the entire 2017–18 due to a serious knee injury.[19][20]

Later career

[edit | edit source]

On 20 May 2019, Neto joined K.V. Oostende on a one-year contract.[21] He then represented in quick succession K.M.S.K. Deinze (Belgian Challenger Pro League),[22][23] Sirens F.C. (Maltese Premier League)[24] and KSC Blankenberge,[25] achieving promotion with the amateurs to the Belgian Division 3 in 2023.[26]
